An ebook is born: the story of Saint Charbel

I've wanted to tell this story for a long time. Saint Charbel is part of the Lebanese soul. Every family has a story. A healing. A moment of grace that can't quite be explained. He is prayed to in Beirut apartments and mountain chapels, by Christians and Muslims alike, by the faithful and the doubtful. He belongs to everyone. But I wanted a book that a child could hold. That a grandparent could read aloud. That would make someone who has never heard of Charbel lean in and want to know more about his inspiring life. So I created one, with attention, and with care. The Man from the Mountain is a children's ebook — twelve original illustrations, and a story that knows when to be quiet. The kind that doesn't rush. The kind you read again and again. > Click here to get your copy <

La Guerre Au Passé

There is a war happening as I write this. There are several, in fact. Borders contested, cities destroyed, lives ended over questions of territory, dominance, and power. The same questions humans have been killing each other over for centuries. And every one of these wars is fighting the wrong battle. Not because war is immoral — though it is. Not because the suffering is unjustifiable — though it is. But because whatever side wins, whatever map gets redrawn, whatever power emerges dominant, none of it will matter in the way the victors imagine. The world they are fighting to control is already disappearing beneath their feet. La guerre au passé . War in the past tense. Not just belonging to the past — but already conjugated there, already concluded, even as it rages. We are living the last spasms of the 20th century bleeding into the 21st. The conflicts tearing the world apart today are remnants — fought with 20th century logic, over 20th century stakes, by leaders whose en...

The UNMASK Series Is Here.

Something has shifted. You can feel it. The world is moving faster than the identities we built to survive it. So we adapt. We perform. We wear the mask so long, we forget it's a mask. For a long time, that worked. Now it's the thing holding you back. Thirty-six years in advertising, journalism, film, and writing taught me one pattern: people don't fail for lack of talent. They fail because they lose touch with who they are underneath the performance. UNMASK isn't a theory. It's nine truths about authentic communication — applied where performance costs the most: you. Your kids. Your business. That's why it's three ebooks. In December, a free preview of what became Vol. 1 — under a different name — passed 30,000 views. Now the ebook series is here. UNMASK Vol. 1: Surviving the End of Certainty You're performing instead of being yourself. It's exhausting — and it's stopped working. The masks that once protected you at work, at home, in every relat...
